Time registration

Use the Time Registration module to register and process the hours the employees have worked.

Hours can be registered manually, or using a direct time registration system, such as Isah-DPR. During the registration, you will provide the following information:

• The employee who has performed the operations
• The operations performed
• The order for which the work was performed
• The time worked

It is also possible to register activities not related to a particular order (for example, 'Holiday', 'Cleaning', or 'Work consultation'). These indirect activities can be posted to a cost center.

Apart from direct hours (for a particular order), indirect hours (not for a particular order), and absence (for example, owing to illness), you can also register presence. You can do so with the help of clocks or by manually entering the presence hours. You can then compare the direct and indirect hours with these presence hours before you approve the hours.

Once the hours have been registered, they must be processed. During processing, various postings are made:

• The costs of the hours worked are posted to the relevant order (actual costing).
• The number of hours worked are updated in the order, enabling you to see how many hours have already been spent on an operation, and how many hours are still outstanding (planning).
• The statistical hour data are updated, enabling you to retrieve information from reports and forms, for example about the number of productive hours or sick hours for a particular department. For an example, see the Processed hours form.
